We went on a motorcycle ride yesterday. Was suppose to be going to a wildlife festival which we never made it. Because my husband and bil wanted to go to harbor freight first. Which was ok with me. We went last week and I got some blades and was hoping to get some more. Unfortunatly they still didn't have any in since I bought the last 3 packages. Anyway then we ate lunch and make alonger story short ended up on a 2 hr. ride and my face is REALLY SUNBURNT. Have been feeling the pain all day. I had put some noxema on it this morning before going to church. Just decided to wash my face and try some aloe.
What are your remedies for sunburn or do you think that the aloe is the best?
